    I always view backup QB as, “if Josh went out for a month, what would the record be?” As a rule, I think 2-2 needs to be the answer. If Mitch can do that, good by me. Kyle Allen wasn’t hat guy IMO.


    and in our division, the best part of that is .500 would’ve taken the crown last year. We won’t always win by 5 games by going 3-1 every month but there’s a reality that if we lose Josh for 4-6 weeks we probably aren’t chasing the 1 seed and are resigned to winning a very winnable division and letting the rest shake out in the playoffs with Josh back

     

    the difference between the 2 seed and a barely .500 4 seed is one game home vs away. 
     

    load up a playoff roster and have a marginally passable backup that won’t go 0-6 and miss completely.

    I'm not saying the Bills should stay pat on offense, just that they don't need another monster on that side of the ball. A Hollywood Brown or Darius Slayton would fit the bill nicely. Yes, with Metcalf they may score even more than the 31 ppg they scored last year (second best in the league), but if signing him means no first-round pick and no big splash in free agency, they'd need to score 35 points a game to compensate for a sieve-like defense. 


    the real dream would be scoring more than 31 AND Josh taking fewer hits running

    Agree. At a REALLY fair deal, I'd take him 


    essentially trading him out for miller in a similar pay for production type deal- maybe a possibility. I’d rather his upside than VM at this point

    So that leaves a WR group of  Coleman, Shakir, Samuel, Kirk, Palmer/Brown, and high draft pick rookie.  Considering for the past few years the Bills have only carried 5 WR, means one of the above is being cut or traded.  Based on the names above Samuel would likely be that guy, but it's a big cap hit to do that.  Add to that they also have Kinkaid and Knox, and only one ball to go around. 

     

    This would be a great lineup for fantasy football, but in the NFL actually have to think about what your roster will look like


    I ought to invite you to my fantasy football league if you like that lineup

    His playoff performance was special to me. I think he is different. I definitely thought he was replaceable but imo there’s untapped potential. Very few miles on him. He’s also by far our most explosive player on offense.


    ill continue to say that part of his support here is because we are lacking explosive guys on the perimeter. Theres a fear if he goes that there’s no electricity left outside JA17

    Part of me wants Myles Garrett but another part of me would be highly upset, hypothetically speaking if a stud DE goes off the board where we’re picking at #30.


    it’s basically impossible to have a guy that’s predictably a stud DE go at 30

     

    you are taking either character or injury risks or forecasting them to outshine their measurables there

    Ok what FA target do you think the Commanders can’t go after due to this trade?


    I mean I think his points simply that it makes it unlikely they hop in the market for say maybe a DK metcalf/higgins (or who knows who else comes loose) now that they have McClaurin/deebo

     

    not that a 5 or the cash is crushing to them- just that they are probably done in the “elite wr” market and he didn’t like Deebo in that bracket

    Re-signing your own never gets you closer. But Shakir is the only pass catcher we have that is clearly part of the core of the team. If we were dealing with a Ja'Marr Chase situation then it's an easy decision to let him walk, but in an offense where very little money is being spent on skill positions it's a luxury we can afford IMO.


    so I get why your head jumped to that “truism” of sorts but it definitely doesn’t match the thought process of my post. 
     

    the problem I had is we already spent premium resources on pass catchers that target similar areas and he was the expiring contract that those guys more cheaply replace compared to that extension
     

    and it’s absolutely no knock on him - it’s just we have spent consecutive firsts on guys that compete in the same space while already having Knox under contract too… but Keon and Dalton haven’t come in on fire so it’s much harder to see shakir walk so you can spend the money on a deep threat or whatever else 

     

    you have to think if you gave beane truth serum that last July his ideal 2025 offseason included letting Shakir walk because Keon/dalton/samuel really covered all the things he brought and he could spend 15m per year elsewhere. They did not answer that convincingly and he played very well - and we see a roster with a little weird blip in its natural progression here.

     

    is $15m per for Shakir fair? Surely seems in the ballpark but probably not how our roster intended to move forward to its next phase.

    I actually am not sure it’s always a situation of people being burned out or unhappy. Maybe sometimes. But It seems also due to ignorance— like they don’t even think being friendly and customer-oriented is something they should do.

     

    i am not also looking for anyone to fawn over me. Just to say hello and recognize my basic existence. 
     

    another example— I was at the dollar store and me and another lady were standing in line. The cashier saw us, but kept us waiting for like 5 minutes while she was putting stuff away on a shelf.
     

    she then came over, and I was like, “hey, how’s it going.” No response. She rang me up.  Then I said at the end, “thanks.” And no response.  
     

    something almost identical happened to

    me at Panera bread then to the other day. 
     

    isn’t that weird? 


    it’s totally weird. 
     

    but also I can only imagine what that dollar store employee has to go through any given shift. In most cases they are stocking, checkout and security by themselves and put through the wringer

    To bring in legit will cost money, likely a decent signing bonus if he is a true legit kicker.  Plus why would a true "legit" kicker sign with Buffalo when he knows unless Bass looks terrible, Bass will win the job as too much money invested in him and other than late in 2023 and early 2024, he's been a very good kicker.


    to be fair, we’d open up cap space cutting him at this point in the contract.

    People cannot stop talking about "weapons"  even after the Bills broke a lot of points records this year.  Meanwhile the DL is the actual problem.  The NFL GM's have gone too far too with paying way too much for WR's, they don't make the difference in the playoffs.   Bengals have Chase and Higgins, Dolphins have Hill and Waddle and they dont even make the playoffs...the Chiefs have been to three straight SB's, won two with very little at WR.   Yet the WGR crowd and many fans get on thier choo choo train about needs dozens of weapons....its so dumb.


    I want to break points records without Josh having to mortgage his body as heavily as he has anytime our offense has worked the last couple years

    CeeDee Lamb plays more snaps from the slot than boundary and he is at the top, Kupp was at the top.   Keenan Allen who signed a $20m a year contract back in 2020 who plays alot more snaps from the slot than boundary was at that time a top 3 WR pay.   Chris Godwin who has had lots of injury issues and will be turning 29 is expected to get a $25m plus contract.

     

    Puca Nacua who had his best year from the slot when it comes his time will get a mega top tier contract.   Devante Adams who plays lots of slot snaps was paid as a top WR.

     

    This isn’t black or white, many of the receivers who are paid at the top plays lots of snaps from the slot.

     

    McConkey has demonstrated both collegiately and in the pros that he can win both inside and out.   
     

    Provided he stays healthy which I do have some concerns, he will be considered on par with guys like Amon ra st brown and prime Kupp, even though McConkey is much faster and explosive than those two.  It’s not even close.


    no one in the world considers ceedee as a slot receiver so much as an explosive receiver that can be moved anywhere in an effort to create advantageous matchups. 
     

    put another way, he can do everything, while mcconkey or Shakir would struggle if pushed outside primarily.

    Worthy was ALWAYS a better player than Coleman. A lot of people here didn’t want to believe it but that was always the case. It was a mistake at the time and a much bigger mistake now. Let’s hope Coleman develops into a quality player. I don’t see him ever being a difference maker but he could be Gabe Davis.


    If rashee can stay out of trouble, they could be a fun pair for Andy Reid 

     

    that’s a huge if though

    Teams have schemed ways to take him out of games far too easily lately.

     

    Namely, just run right at him like the Bills did and he didn't do anything all game except get blown off the ball.

     

    If he isn't rushing the passer, he is a liability out there 


    luckily, we are rarely playing catch up, allowing opposing offenses to simply run

     

    playing in shootouts I’ll take any edge rusher that can end a drive
